It's a good idea to do it - the discharge gets diluted pretty quickly in the water, so it shouldn't be a problem from the outside of the boat.  From the inside, if the standpipe will be empty all the time, it shouldn't be a problem there, either.  But it never hurts to be on the safe side, and adding a sleeve isn't really very difficult to do at all.

I guess you'll have to wait until next time the boat is hauled, in order to do it.
